But the concept itself Spa origin is only concerned with water. The term "spa" is taken from the Greek sante par aqua, meaning health through water therapy.
European spa culture has evolved in the seventeenth century. In those days many people on vacation to find the source of mineral water in order to cope with health problems. It goes all the way, in the Sultanate of Yogyakarta is also still visible relics of the washing of Taman Sari Palace where the girls bathroom to get cleaned up to make it look more beautiful.

Added again that the bath with cold water will increase production of white blood cells in the body and increase a person's ability to attack the virus. In fact, cold showers in the morning can increase the testosterone production in men and estrogen in women. Thus, fertility and sexual excitement will increase.

Water is also believed to participate cure heart disease, rheumatism, skin damage, respiratory diseases, intestinal disease, femininity, etc..
Now, instead of various kinds of alternative medicine has to offer by way kungkum (soaking) in water containing a magnetic, high levels of salt, sulfur or other chemicals that can improve health.
Say Ciater, about 32 km north of Bandung, has long been known to the public as a tourist area with the added attraction cool, natural hot spring. They believe, natural hot spring there can help treat the disease. Indeed, based on research, hot water Ciater aluminum-containing mineral material is quite high. According to the classification of balneology (the study of the efficacy of therapeutic baths), hot water Ciater included in the category of calcium chloride, magnesium sulfate thermomineral hypertherma with high aluminum content (38.5%) and very acidic pH (2.45).
In addition to skin treatments, water Ciater effective for the treatment of paralysis, for example due to stroke. The reason, could help strengthen back muscles and ligaments as well as expedite the circulatory system and respiratory system. Hydrostatic and hydrodynamic effects Ciater water helps sustain weight loss during training runs.

The content of ions, especially chlorine, magnesium, hydrogen carbonate and sulfate in water Ciater, helps the dilation of blood vessels thus increasing blood circulation. In addition the pH of the water is able to sterilize the skin. Understandably, because the highly acidic environment that germs will die.
In developed countries, water therapy has also been a lot done. Two experts from Germany, Vincenz Priesnitz and Father Sebastian Kneipp, use warm water and cold. Initially patients were included into a bath of warm water to sweat, then moved to a tub of cold water, then was asked also to walk briefly in order to sweat again. Finally, the patient again with cold water bath. Exchange temperature from hot to cold that is the secret key of this treatment. The benefit to stabilize the heart and blood circulation.
Similar manner was also already widely recommended by alternative medicine experts in Indonesia. How, bathing or flushing the body with warm water, then soak briefly in cold water (temperature 18oC). Even supposedly this therapy can improve the fertility of men and women.
Muscle tension can be defused with a warm water bath temperature of about 37 ° C. While our aching feet are often recommended to soak the feet with warm water mixed with a little salt, then the soreness vanished.
There is another unique therapy, a combination of water and sound therapy. Liquid sound, practiced at the Clinic Bad Sulza, Rhuringen, Germany. How, with hands crossed behind, the patient's body float on the surface of the pool water in a supine position. His body could float like the Dead Sea because the water contains 3% salt.
In that position the patient's ear which submerged in the water could clearly hear the music that floated through multiple loudspeakers, mounted in the bottom of the pond. Type of music on patient choice, most gentle, so can calm. It is said that after bathing, the body feels light and fresh. The thought was growing brighter.
The Body will be FIT
Efficacy of water does not stop at just about the shower or bath. No less important properties of water when drunk. Besides food, water is needed by our bodies. Someone who lack food can still last for several days, but the lack of water can be fatal, because water is the biggest part of human body composition.
In the body of a man with an average weight of 70 kg, according to Dr. Elvina Karyadi, MSc, nutritionist, water content in the body approximately 45 l. (In women, the water content is slightly lower because a greater body fat composition.) Of the total water content above 45 l, about 30 l contained in our body's cells (intracellular), while 15 l is outside the cell (ektraseluler). Which includes water outside the cell is water in the fluid of the brain, eyes and nasal fluids, including fluids of the gastrointestinal tract.
According to another source, the water content in the brain 83%, renal 82%, cardiac 79%, lung 80%, 22% bone, and blood 90%. When the water content in each organ is maintained as needed, then the organ will remain healthy. Conversely, if declining, its function will also be decreased and more easily disturbed by bacteria, viruses, etc.. So you can imagine how big the role of water in our body.
Fortunately, the human body has a mechanism in maintaining the balance of the incoming water intake and expenditure. Thirst was on everyone is a normal mechanism in maintaining the water intake in the body. Water bodies require approximately 2 to 2.5 l (8-10 cups) per day. Total water demand is already included water intake from food (such as soup, soup, etc.), beverages such as milk, tea, coffee, syrups etc.. In addition, water intake was also obtained from the metabolism of food consumed and tissue metabolism in the body.
How important water intake every day, can also be seen from a certain amount of water removed from the body every day through several mechanisms. There is through urine, feces, sweat, and also through the respiratory tract.
The amount of water released by the body through the urine of about 1 l / day. If the number of stools in healthy people who spent about 50 - 400 g / day, the water content of about 60-90% weight of stools or about 50-60 ml of water a day.
Meanwhile, water is wasted through sweating and respiratory tract in a maximum of 1 l per day, depending on the temperature of the surrounding air. Not to mention the expenditure of factors of water through breathing. Someone who has a fever, the water content in the breath will increase. Conversely, the amount of water that is inhaled through the breathing air is reduced due to low humidity surroundings.
Our bodies will deteriorate if the water content decreases and the charging less rapidly implemented. Obviously, because there is a very close relationship between quality and water content in the body with our body's response.
Dr. James M. Rippe, a cardiologist from the U.S. suggest to drink at least 1 liter more than what is needed our thirst. Because the loss of only 4% of fluids will lead to lower our performance as much as 22%! It is understandable if lost 7%, we will begin to feel weak and lethargic.
The more we do the activity, more water will be drained from the body. Moreover, people living in tropical countries where more energy is expended. Therefore, health experts warn not to drink only when thirsty. Lots of drinking habits, whether it is hungry or not, is a healthy habit!
That means, working in air-conditioned room also requires us to drink more, even if not thirsty. Because, in air-conditioned room we will more quickly dehydrated. That much to drink will help the skin does not dry quickly is important to note not only by those who daily work in air-conditioned room, but also by those working in the room where the temperature is not fixed. The temperature up and down causing the room humidity is also uncertain. With drinking water will help neutralize the influence of such changes.
Water is also "sweep" dirt in the body that will be faster out through urine. For those who want to slim down the body too, drink warm water before eating (making it feel somewhat satisfied) is one way to reduce the amount of food intake. Moreover the water contains no calories, sugar, or fat. However, it is best to drink water at medium temperature, not too hot, nor too cold.
Realizing how much water is very supportive fitness, health and beauty of the body, it could not hurt us to maintain our friendship with this old friend. As long as we can still enjoy the usefulness, let's take advantage of the best.
Thank you for coming...
